The Malibu songbird's sound — full of carefree acoustic strums and beach-ready romance — is built for blandness, so her greatest struggle has always been breaking through all that aggressive pleasantness. Luckily, her third album, All of You, proves there's more to her than a smile and a hair toss. Caillat plays with rhythmic touches (the high-spirited handclaps on ''Brighter Than the Sun'') and adds a dollop of country heartbreak to both her voice and her lyrics. On the ruminative title track, for example, world-weary pathos practically drips off the line ''I'm no good at guessing.'' Nothing here is a call to arms, but Caillat's soft revolution is rousing nonetheless. B+
